Apple pie ..come immediately to mind Grandma Duck ..or an American movie where there was a waitress who baked such so gorgeous pies...yummies looking at them only!
I like taking a classic recipe and reinvent it.
Often it doesn't work at first time.
But my love for cooking and the wish to see if the experiment works , push me to try and try always.
Making something good with your own hands it's one of the biggest satisfaction that you can have.
That seems an undertaking every time!
My husband, my friends, my cousin are like guinea pigs ...but don't worry they dont' suffer so much.
They order indeed.
At Loretta's home, who helps me so much with this blog and with all those complicated informatic things.
I took this apple pie and I put my heart on it to say thank you for her help.
It's great to count on friends!
Short crust pastry iingredients :
50 g medium fine corn flour (bramata type in Italy)
150 g superfine corn flour (fumetto type in Italy)
110 g rice starch
140 g chestnut flour
225 g margarine
75 ml cold sparkling water
a pinch of salt
1 egg for brushing
Filling ingredients :
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1 tablespoon rice flour
orange zest and juice
1 kg apple
1 teaspoon ground nutmeg
100 g sugar fruit
Preparation:
I make the short crust pastry mixing flours and the starch with the margarine, the water and the pinch of salt.
I put the dough in the fridge to stand for 30 minutes.
Later I cut the apples in thin slices and I flavour them with orange zest and juice, the cinnamon, the nutmeg and the sugar fruit. I put on also a tablespoon of rice starch.
I roll the dough on an oiled and covered with flour baking pan.
I pour the apples and i close with the remaining dough.
I bake for 45° minuti a 180°.
If you serve it still warm is more tasty.
It is just only an apple pie ...but it is hard to resist it. :-)
